"Tell my baby I said 'So long.'
Tell my mother I did no wrong.
Tell my brother to watch his own.
And tell my friends to mourn me none."

I dreamed about her, about us.
I held her tightly in a lingering instant,
in my arms the tingle of livelihood was sparked
by the transfer of data across the synapses of my brain.

What a nightmare, to wake from a dream.
My only dream.

in full command of every plan you wrecked...
do not choose a coward's explanation
that hides behind the cause and the effect."

Today, for a sailing moment, I saw the bored sun setting over the vast Lake Superior. It hanged to the tune of two children laughing. It sailed along in the wind like a true boat, undemanding, all of it and it was the first undemanding thing I'd seen in a while.

"The words that he spoke
seemed the wisest of philosophies.
There's nothing ever gained
by a wet thing called a tear.
When the world is too dark
and I need the light inside of me,
I'll walk into a bar
and drink fifteen pints of beer.

I am going, I am going
any which way the wind may be blowing.
I am going, I am going
where streams of whiskey are flowing."

why is she speaking to me?

I remember a story where a child tells all his secrets to a hole in a tree. And there the secrets dwell with no response.

I've adjusted to being that child.

And now the tree has spoken back.

But for how long? I desire more words.
